Shemmy, The mono release in the UK substituted "It Happened
In Monterey" and "French Foreign Legion"was on the stereo. The Australian
release had "Chicago"replacing "Mandalay."Ed

I surmise that’s a copy of the Come Fly With Me album distributed in the
British Commonwealth since it does not contain The Road to Mandalay but instead
includes My Kind Of Town [Chicago]. Frank famously explains this during a
concert, in Australia I think.

Hi Jim,
This album was issued by United Airlines as part of an
ad campaign.
I wonder who picked "The House I Live In." Album is a compilation of Capitol
and
Reprise recordings.
Frank went after Kipling's granddaughter after she
succeeded in
getting "Mandalay" banned from any UK releases. He went out of his way to
sing the song whenever he was performing in any part of the UK.
